Turner Classic Movies will be showcasing this film on Thursday, June 5th at
8:00 PM EDT. This is a rare opportunity to see the oldest existing film shot in any Technicolor process. I saw this film screened at UCLA over 20 years ago
and it was very well received.

Black & white, what do you mean? I thought the whole point was it was in color? The version I saw was in color. I assume it was the same as the one you saw given you're post is so recent.

They say it was a two-color process but there were variations on those colors. It looked almost like full color. There were some things that looked like they lacked color but they didn't look like black & white either.
